A great house for hosting big groups. Well stocked kitchen, clean rooms, and no lack of entertainment options. The perfect distance from Asheville to spend the day in town, but feel solitude when at the house.
Wonderful stay at this property! April never looked better from the outdoor sitting area with fire table. We spent hours here enjoying the views and conversation. Our group was all adults and yet we managed to play all the games! So fun! Also the hot tub, steam shower and fire pit were all huge hits! Nothing but good things to say… rooms were clean and comfortable. FYI, bedroom TV’s are only in the two main level bedrooms, which was kinda nice. Thoughtful details throughout and a kind communicative host. The digital guestbook was soooo helpful and we used it to find the best breweries and a few short hikes. The drive up was a little challenging for us flat landers, but just a few trips up and down and it feels like home. Stay here!! I will definitely be checking out the additional properties offered by this host
We had a magical fall weekend enjoying the deck, the firepit, and all the games in the game room. The view was gorgeous. Home was top quality and very clean.
Our family of 13 had plenty of space and enjoyed our stay tremoundously. The location was great to go rafting and visit downtown Asheville. Hope to visit again next year!
This property has everything you need for a great getaway. Plenty of space and lots of things to do right on the property for entertainment. Clean, beautiful, spacious.
It is such a fun house. You do not need to go anywhere! Super private and peaceful.The view is amazing and if we ever an in the area would stay again! Owners are wonderful communicators.
Highly recommend! Accommodations were clean and very nice! We had 20 people and it was perfect! Love the movie room and game rooms! Would love to go back and stay again!

The driveway to the property was the main problem. Other people have said it was steep, but that was highly understated. It is "extremely" steep, long and narrow. I have personally seen nothing like it. It would be, in my opinion, impossible to get up to the house with snow/ice on the ground.
This gorgeous home has been updated and it had everything your family may need! From the video games to the game room, theater and hot tub, to the many places to gather and kind sized beds in almost every room… there was something for everyone, from infant to senior!
The property is exactly as stated. The host is excellent at handling questions, and her attention to details makes you feel most welcome. The house has stunning views, and so much to entertain your family. We can’t wait to go back for another stay.
House is incredible. Comfortably housed 14 guys for my buddies bachelor party. The accommodations were incredible and everyone was super happy. House management discloses this but just to reiterate - the driveway path up to the house is extremely steep and tough for most Ubers. We rented a bus and it did get up and down the hill but it is very steep and windy. Just be prepared. Other than that - once you get up the hill - everything is awesome.
Amazing house!!! The accommodations were perfect. Very clean, lots of room. Playroom, movie room, hot tub, and karaoke fun! The scenery was breathtaking. Owner was responsive and willing to make any accommodations. Thank you for an amazing weekend!!
Great house. Comfy beds, nice linens. One of the cleanest VRBO houses we have stayed in. Only comment would be an extra fridge. We utilized all beds available in house and only one fridge was right. The house does offer 2 large coolers to try and help accommodate.
We were so happy to stay at this beautiful location to rest and recharge while spending time with family. The pictures do not do it justice and we enjoyed our time here so much. We enjoyed touring the parks and sites, then returning to share a meal with family, hang by the fire and have competitions on the arcade games. Would love to return.
Amazing place that has everything. Julia (property manager) is great to work with if there is anything you need. Plenty of beds for the boys weekend. Grill, Game room(s), firepit(s) were utilized. The driveway is very steep and you will want 4 wheel drive in the winter months. But during spring, summer and fall, its not a problem. Highly recommended if you are visiting Asheville and need a large meeting place.
We had an incredible time at Cardinal
Ridge! The biggest challenge we encountered is that we didn’t want to leave! We are a bunch of old folks and acted as if we were kids the whole time there. We loved ALL the entertainment options! And the house is so pretty and well decorated. Honestly, it’s perfect!
Perfect for our family ranging in age from 8-76. Boys were enthralled with the game room, the arcade room, and the pool table room. Bedrooms and baths worked well for our group and the kitchen was well-supplied for the cooking we did. The driveway is a humdinger though.
